Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2022
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete annual financial statement presentation.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2022, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2022. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.
Nature of Operations
The Company is the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor for MiteXstreamTM, an EPA-certified plant-based biopesticide effective in the eradication of mites and other similar pests, including spider mites, that destroy crops, particularly cannabis, hops, coffee and house plants, as well as molds and mildew.
The Company also manufactures and sells, under its Grizzly Creek NaturalsTM brand name, CBD products, including CBD Oils, gummies and pet treats, as well as CBD-infused personal care products.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company had a working capital deficit of $(665,905) at September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2022. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s researching for new markets. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with cash received from financing activities, more specifically from related party loans.
While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards, and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
There are potential dilutive securities as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Related Parties
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06-Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.
The Company has early adopted ASU 2020-06 for the year beginning January 1, 2021.
Change in Accounting Principle
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06-Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.
The Company has early adopted ASU 2020-06 for the year beginning January 1, 2021.
The Company will adopt the if-converted method for calculating EPS and the modified retrospective method as the transition method. The if-converted method assumes that the conversion of convertible securities occurs at the beginning of the reporting period and the modified retrospective recognizes the cumulative effect of the change as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of the date of adoption. Under the modified-retrospective method, no adjustment should be made to the comparative-period information including EPS.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the cumulative effect of the changes on retained earnings is $29,788, additional paid-in-capital is $56,343 and notes payable is $26,555, as reflected in the accompanying financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the effect on EPS would be unchanged after the adoption of ASU 2020-06.
3. CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
During 2020 a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported worldwide resulting in decreased economic activity and closures of businesses which has adversely affected the broader global economy. The virus has continued to affect the economy through 2021. The Company is taking all necessary steps to keep its business premises in a safe environment and is constantly monitoring the impact of COVID-19. At this time, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact the economy and the Company is uncertain. Pandemics or other significant public heath events could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the results of its operations in the future.
4. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
In the normal course of business the Company maintains cash with a Federally-insured financial institution. Individual account balance may occasionally exceed the Federally-insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses as a result of any account balances exceeding the Federally-insured limits.
